With your support, last year RaiseUp Families served 76 families – that's 91 adults and 148 children. Families like Tianca, a single mom, and her two kids. Tianca was working a 9 to 5 job but struggling to get by. After just two months in the RaiseUp Families HandUp program, she got a new job with more benefits. Now, Tianca has paid down debt and started a savings account for herself and both of her children. Above all, Tianca says she feels happy she's able to spend more time with her children without the stress of wondering how to pay bills. Success stories like Tianca's are little victories with big impact we witness every day. #RaiseUpFamilies #Houston #HoustonTexas #HoustonNonprofit #HoustonFamilies #VolunteerHouston #Nonprofit #Volunteer #FinancialAssistance

This year, RaiseUp Families has served 36 parents facing unexpected crises and helped them find a path to stability. Parents like Erica, a single mom to one son. When Erica was in a recent car accident, she found herself in a financial crisis. Stuck paying two car notes, and no transportation to get her to work or get her son to school, she lost her job. Once connected with RaiseUp Families, Erica found employment from home and was able to get the car removed from her monthly expenses.
